As humanity continues its exploration of the universe, the low-gravity environment of space presents unusual challenges for scientists and engineers. Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering ...

In that shift, gravity stops being just a classical field and becomes a candidate “status report” from the underlying code. I see this as a subtle but important reframing: the simulation idea is no ...

What if gravity—the force that keeps us stuck to the planet—is actually just the universe trying to save processing power? According to physicist Melvin Vopson, this isn’t just the random musing of a ...

In preparation for his Beyond mission, ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano was at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, USA, in March 2019. Here he is strapped to the Partial Gravity Simulator to practice ...

What if gravity, the force that holds your feet to the ground and binds galaxies together, is much more than a fundamental law of nature? What if it’s actually the smoking-gun clue that suggests ...

File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature – one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...

Wired Science is combing NASA's enormous image archive to bring you some of its most inspiring, awesome and weird photos. This 1965 shot of the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator is one of our ...

Researchers have developed a novel design for a low-gravity simulator that promises to break new ground for future space research and habitation. As humanity continues its exploration of the universe, ...

Gravity may not be a fundamental force of nature, but a byproduct of the universe streamlining information like a cosmic computer. Reading time 3 minutes We have long taken it for granted that gravity ...
